Wigan Membership
I borrowed one for the first year!! There were always loads of kids at school who had a membership card but never went! Here's mine - a bit the worse for wear! Used to get very hot and sweaty in my back pocket and I think it went in the washing at least once. So I covered it in tape to hold it together. (p.s. just found the envelope it came in - strange the things you keep!)

7 Dwarfs-Stop Girl
Interesting read Moptopmike has very strong opinions! So, Rouser Frank Beverly in a boot! Also, he seems to have spelled Patten (as on USA copies) as Patton (this in on UK copies) I think I'd trust JM rather than Mr Moptop.

7 Dwarfs-Stop Girl
Hi Pete, I have an original as per the JM description in his auction in September 2011 with the position of the FW stamp in relation to the 1168 number and the funny number "8". I also have the boot. However someone tried to make it look legit with the FW mark but it's in the wrong place relative to the 1168 and the "8" looks normal proportions. There is a VERY light line through the "e" in "Dame" on the original and a more obvious line through the "e" on the boot. The boot does have marks on the run-out groove but the original doesn't. Here's a scan of both, I think one of them you have is pukka. The boot is a darker yellow and is the one on the left Cheers Kev Bod

I think TOJO was played at The Cats. Here's a picture of Max's copy I bought from him in about 1978. Cheers Kev Bod

Wigan Casino 6/2/81 5Th Oldies Anniversary Live Tape
Thanks for putting this up Pete. This was the last but 1 night I went. I think the playlist gives a good sample of a typical "oldies" night at Wigan. Even someone who had only been into it for a week would have been familiar as some of the playlist featured in the pop charts. Usually, no room on the dance floor until late on. I always get a picture in my mind of an oldies night of Keith blasting his way through the crowd with his record box on his shoulder!! By the way Soulstu, I have many happy memories of the Feathers. Late 70's onwards it was run by my good mate's mom, Carol Ellitts. Paul (Beanhead) and I would on occasions be put in charge of "catering" on saturdays after an oldies night - good job health and safety hadn't been invented. Also, lot's of folks met up there 1 night before Wigan (I think) and P**l S*****n had "borrowed" a very large canister of Nitrous Oxide and attempts were made to release said gas in the Snug!! Cheers

Stopping Buying / Selling Up
I Like buying records "I like it alot!!" https://youtu.be/28GLa9T2CtI Personally, I treat it as money "spent" rather than money I'll get back. Gone and never to be seen again. And only buy things I want to own for good.
